• Collaborate with functional consultants to validate that company code specific configuration, master data, and transactional data are correctly isolated.
• Identify, mitigate, and resolve complex technical risks, performance bottlenecks, and data inconsistencies during dry runs and the final cutover.
• Provide technical governance and quality assurance across the entire infrastructure, archiving, and basis workstreams.
